In the US Congress explained that it hinders the contain Russia and China

40
In the United States, a report has been submitted which says that the state itself is driving itself into a corner, again substantially increasing military spending. A report prepared by the Congressional Budget Subcommittee states that by 2020, the budget deficit of the United States Department of Defense will overcome the psychological bar in 1 trillion dollars.

В Конгрессе США объяснили, что мешает сдержать Россию и Китай




The report says that the steps to continuously increase the US military budget due to "threats emanating from China and Russia" are not compatible with the expected monthly 6-month reduction in tax collection.

In the House of Representatives, it is noted that the chosen policy of increasing military spending against the background of a worsening situation with tax collection suggests that the United States is economically ill prepared for a real confrontation with China. Representatives of the Democratic Party declare that "Trump's spending on defense looks unreasoned and even reckless." It is added that funds are allocated simply because it is “so accepted”, without taking into account the possibility of any real returns from this kind of investment.

From the statement:
We are standing on the edge of a huge budget hole and absolutely do not know what to do in such a situation.


Proponents of augmenting spending on the military industry are fended off by the fact that defense spending stimulates growth in the economy, and growth in the economy, in turn, is capable of partially covering the resulting deficit. Today, US GDP growth is fixed at 2,8%, which Trump has already called his achievement as president.

In this case, the total debt of the United States continues to break records. Today it is 21,17 trillion dollars.

            We seem to have reduced our debt contribution, but China has invested a lot. They are definitely not going to give these to anyone. How would a machine break? How many countries breathe freely, and the same EU.

                billion ... trillion ... Most people have a poor understanding of the heart, HOW MUCH IT
                Here it is a million $, you can take it in the package.

                This is a billion. Ten standard transport pallets that can only be lifted by crane.

                And this is a trillion. Please note that the pallets are in two rows, and occupy the area of ​​a large stadium. Not every sea barge will raise so much.

                And the United States owes 21 trillion ...

            For example, I do not have loans. I don’t have debts to bankers either.

            Those who do not know how to count debts to creditors take loans at 1,5 percent per day.

            And how much is annual, they are not interested. I’ll tell you without a calculator. This is about 540% per year.

        While the buck is sitting in all the calculations, while it is in demand and sold, the stripes are twisted, but everything has its limit and end. To sell weapons to everyone and a lot ... to reduce the cost of internal procurement, to sell all the old stuff!

          Here it’s not even a matter of bucks, but of debt. China alone holds $ 1,3 trillion. If the US defaults, those with dollars will be in the black. And if the dollar dominates, then everything is in the pope.

            This only says that a country that has everything cannot be in a deep island!
            The country has EVERYTHING, the richest of its citizens have EVERYTHING and will have it, but the average person may happen \ it happened that at one moment there was nothing left!
            So it is necessary to share what we are talking about, what we mean!
            America is a rich, powerful country, but its citizens are very different in essence, and in terms of security and well-being they are divided like all the same in the whole world!

      So they owe 60% to themselves. Their own pension funds, long-term investors with American citizenship and other American funds invest in the US national debt. So do not be terrified to catch up.

    The US owes its Fed (Federal Reserve). And the Fed is a private shop with the right to print dollars. Something like MMM. And if necessary, they will print another trillion. It is all about the credibility of $ and that all world trade is tied to it. Therefore, the US and emigrants stoke Europe with their Euros and are afraid of China with the yuan. It is necessary to switch in serious calculations (for oil or gas) to other currencies - the US bankrupt. They know this, so now they are spinning all sorts of bitcoins, etc.

    I doubt that the Americans do not know what to do in this situation. They lived on debt, they live and will live trying to fuck as much as possible at the expense of others and their pieces of paper, which spawned the world. Accustomed to live at someone else’s expense will not give up on this.

    The Americans continue to pour money into their economy, but ours are falling into a small bottle telling us that it is necessary to stabilize the exchange rate, however, when the dollar jumped from $ 30 to $ 60, nobody touched that small coin. They sniffed that the ruble was underestimated and calmed down by accusing the entire US. But the Americans act differently, and there, too, are not fools in the State Department.

    Bad news.
    funds are allocated simply because “it’s so accepted”, without considering the possibility of any real return from this kind of investment.

    Reduce the problem:
    The novice farmer bought a tractor, seeders - winders, seeds, fertilizers. Borrowed from the whole village, in banks, mortgaged the house. And he is not in a hurry to go to plow in the field. What will his wife and mother-in-law say to him ?! !! You can, of course, sell the tractor to a neighbor .... But the neighbor loaned his stash to the farmer. So the farmer will have to hook the plow .....

    They don’t have enough money for military expenses, the printing press is overheating, and they could also put a water radiator. Everyone is in a hurry to die or his own, they are digging a hole for others and they themselves will fall into it.
